About Us

Jewelry for life's biggest moments, and the little ones in between.

Welcome to J'Adorn Designs, your destination for custom jewelry and modern bridal accessories. My name is Alison and I'm the jeweler and owner of this couture jewelry studio. I specialize in adornments for brides, gifts for wedding attendants and loved ones, and accessories to highlight the unique spark in every woman. Whatever the occasion, my mission with J'Adorn Designs is to help you find or build the perfect piece to #JADORNYOURLOVE!

Meet the Designer

I discovered my passion for personalized accessories in late 2011 when I was planning my own wedding and was dissatisfied with the jewelry offerings I found at bridal shops. I opted to make a set of matching jewelry for my own bridesmaids instead, and just a few short months later opened an online shop for my creations.

I am a self-taught jewelry designer and artisan; I founded J'Adorn Designs in early 2012 and have been refining my craft ever since. I am inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the individual love stories of the people I have the honor of working with. I strive to honor these love stories with excellent craftsmanship as exquisite as the love they reflect and I prides myself on the meticulous attention to detail, high quality, and intuitive customer service for which my work has become known.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I expect to receive my jewelry after I place an order?

If you purchase jewelry from the pre-designed collections in our online shop, you can expect to receive your order within 4 to 6 weeks of placing your order. This timeframe is due to the fact that each piece is made to order, which enables us to easily accommodate customization requests. (Note: If you would like us to make customizations to your order, please make your request via our contact form prior to purchasing to ensure that we can make the changes you desire.)

For custom and bespoke jewelry, a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks is typical. Details for individual custom orders will be determined during our consultation.

Rush orders can be placed by request. We take these on a case by case basis, and potential expedition costs are covered by the client. Please feel free to reach out with any questions if you need to place a rush order!

What is your policy on returns? What if my jewelry purchase breaks?

Jewelry may be returned for a store credit if it is sent back in original condition with its receipt and original packaging within 30 days of the original purchase.

Any piece of jewelry you purchase comes with a guarantee that it will last you in a durable way. If your piece breaks due to regular wear and tear within six months of purchase, just send it back along with your receipt and we will replace or repair it for free. Returns after the six months mark will be done on a discretionary basis with applicable fees determined by case.

What type of metals do you use?

We use a variety of metals to offer a broad price and quality range. Most commonly you will see sterling silver, gold filled, silver plated, and gold plated metals listed in our product descriptions. Finer quality materials are available for bespoke orders. For custom orders, we will work with you to determine which option is the best choice for your particular design.

Do you have a physical shop I can visit?

We do not have a physical retail shop, but we often participate in seasonal pop-up shops and trunk shows to bring our pieces closer to the community. If you'd like to know when and where we will be, subscribe to our newsletter and keep your eye on the J'Adorn Designs blog for current news & upcoming events.

If you'd like to host a trunk show or include our products in your pop-up shop, please contact us via email at hello@jadorndesigns.com.
